2 Chronicles 16:1-5

1In the sixH8337 and thirtieth yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609, BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 up against JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, that he might not suffer any one to goH3318 out or comeH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.

2Then AsaH609 broughtH3318 out silverH3701 and goldH2091 out of the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah and of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 to Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of Syria, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559,

3There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: behold, I have sentH7971 thee silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH5927, breakH6565 thy league with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may depart from me.

4And Ben-hadadH1130 hearkened unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captains of his armiesH2428 against the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478; and they smote IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of NaphtaliH5321.

5And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he left off buildingH1129 RamahH7414, and let his workH4399 ceaseH2308.
